In the Spirit of Reconciliation, the Garden will be a contemplative place where our community can pause, reflect and remember.

The Kelso Beach site was chosen as our oral and written history tells us that the banks of the Sydenham and Potawatomie were once the fertile hunting and fishing grounds of the Saugeen Ojibwa Nation of the Nawash people.
